Advertising with IPEM

Advertising through IPEM gives you access to our membership of more than 4,560 medical physicists, clinical and biomedical engineers, and technologists. IPEM offers a range of advertising options for members, charities, professional bodies, NHS trusts and commercial companies in:

Scope (IPEM’s quarterly member magazine)

the Placement Service Circular (electronic jobs publication)

inserts in member mailings

inserts in conference delegate packs.

Scope (IPEM’s quarterly member magazine) Suitable for commercial advertisements, particularly those promoting publications, products or services. It requires copy several months ahead and is thus less suitable for time-sensitive content, such as courses and events. Scope does not take recruitment advertisements.

Scope is sent out free to all members every quarter. To advertise in Scope please contact our advertising agents Century One Publishing. For any other Scope queries, contact the Editor.

Online and email adverts

A box on the Home page of the IPEM website can be used to place an advert for one month or more.

Electronic adverts can be placed in one of the regular emails that our members receive.

For more information please see the 2018 Rate Card from our advertising agents at Century One Publishing.

The Placement Service Circular (PSC or 'Green Sheets') Suitable for promoting jobs relevant to members.

The PSC (Green Sheets) have now moved from a hard copy format to electronic. The new format is more convenient for our readers, enabling them to access job vacancies via their PC, tablet or phone. It is also more convenient for our advertisers, with shorter copy deadlines. Electronic mailings are better for the environment than the current system of postal mailing of printed copies.

Since August 2014, all job adverts have been emailed to our members, using a newsletter format very similar to the hardcopy format, which is print-friendly. They are also made available to view via this website. We also publicise the latest jobs via our popular Twitter feed.

Text should be supplied in the body of an email or as a word document. Logos are accepted in .jpg or .gif format: please send as an email attachment.

Up to 300 words: £645 (+VAT where applicable)

Up to 500 words: £970 (+VAT where applicable)

Up to 800 words: £1,615 (+VAT where applicable)

You can guarantee first place listing, subject to availability, for an extra 20%.

Discounts: Agency Commission of 10%, provided payment is received within 30 days of invoice date. IPEM Member Discount (including Company Members) of 20%, provided that advertisements are placed directly by IPEM members on behalf of their organisations, not through advertising agents.
